The Seahawks brought in veteran wide receiver Terrell Owens for a workout on Monday, and apparently liked what they saw. Seattle has agreed to a one-year contract with Owens, the team confirmed Monday, as the Seahawks look to bolster their receiving corps before the start of the 2012 season.

Owens, 38, returns to the NFL after a long hiatus. He tore his ACL in April 2011 and failed to make a team for that season. He last played in 2010 with the Cincinnati Bengals, when he had 1,000 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns.

On Monday, during his workout at the Seahawks’ headquarters in Renton, Owens reportedly ran under 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash. The Seahawks apparently would like the veteran to help out receivers Doug Baldwin, Sydney Rice and Ricardo Lockette. The Seahawks cut WR Antonio Bryant this weekend and signed WR Braylon Edwards last week to bolster their passing game.

In 15 seasons in the NFL, T.O. has 1,078 career receptions for 15,935 yards and 153 touchdowns. He has had nine seasons with 1,000 or more receiving yards, and 13 seasons with 50 or more pass receptions.

The Seahawks have been preparing at their home in Renton, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, as their first preseason game approaches on Saturday against the Tennessee Titans.

Updated 7:27 p.m.: The Seahawks have officially announced their contract agreement with Owens.
